Party rock is in the house tonight
WHO: Penelope Raban and College Aged Friends
WHERE: Penelope's House
WHEN: 9/1 and into the wee hours of 9/2
WHAT: A Labor Day/Back To School/We're Alive/Welcome to Retrospec Party
WARNINGS: Language, Drinking (Potentially underage), possible mentions of violence/sexuality, stupid college shenaningans.
In the wake of the general nightmare that was August, the addition of new Retrospec users in their age bracket that a lot of them knew, and the general holiday + back to school rush, a party seemed like a good idea to Pen. Conferring with Vera and others, Pen decided to make it happen, setting up her place for more than just the usual drinking and shenanigans. They all deserved it, after all, for Balancing School, Life, and Retrospec, sometimes these sorts of things are all that keeps you sane!
I. Afternoon
It starts early, as these things often should. By late afternoon, Pen's backyard is filled with the smells of grilled meats and roasting vegetables. A table is set up with condiments and buns for the, burgers, hotdogs, chicken, tofu, all that good stuff plus chips and chili to go with it. Coolers of beer and spirits, tea, soda, lemonade, and some Japanese soda abomination Pen found called Ice Cucumber Pepsi that seems to have been left there for the truly adventurous.
There's a cornhole game setup, and tables and cups for beer pong and other party games if people feel inclined, as well as an elaborate outdoor speaker system set up by the host herself playing a mix of music ranging from classic rock to low-key pop hits of today. Enjoy!
II. Dusk
Night's approach heralds the arrival of the bane of all parties: mosquitos. Everything mostly moves indoors, with snacks and leftovers in the kitchen and seating set up all over. Drinks still flow and games come out.
Pen's got things set up for people to play Super Crash Brothers and Dario Cart and things like that in one room, and what party would be complete without Never Have I Ever and Truth or Dare? Someone even thinks it might be a good idea to set up Two Truths and a Lie...
III. Night
It's getting on in the evening, but Pen has one last little surprise for everyone set up. Just like the 4th of July, there's a rather nice fireworks display set up! She's actually taken the time to sobor up too, so it goes a bit more smoothly. Firecrackers, sparklers, and other such things are laid out for anyone with an interest...and citronella torches line the back yard like soldiers, forming a shield against invading insects.
This is the time to take a moment, relax, pull someone special aside and have a moment. Nobody is looking, and even if they were, nobody'll judge. Everyone needs a little peace sometimes, to enjoy the simple things. After the last month, it's clear that nothing is permament, and everyone should take time out to appreciate nights like this. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Give me your best dare, Aria.
no subject
What's the most embarrassing dance move or routine you know?
[She's expecting something as ridiculous as Shanghai Style.]
no subject
But the most embarrassing one? That's easy. She wordlessly pulls out her phone and taps on it.
And then starts shaking her hips to the song.]
no subject
Cute song. The dance looks pretty simple too.
no subject
Aria, are you telling me you didn't know about the Caramelldansen dance before I showed it to you just now?
no subject
Um... no? I didn't?
no subject
That means you've never danced it before, which isn't allowed at all. Come on.
no subject
[She isn't resisting too much, but Minako is going to have to drag her to the open area.
God, she's already red.]
This is your dare, Minako. Not mine!
no subject
Hey Aria! I dare you to dance Caramelldansen!
no subject
Then I dare you to do it with m-- us!
no subject
Done!
no subject
Oooh ooh ooh waao wah~
no subject
However, after about five or six beats--]
I dare all of you to dance Caramelldansen!
[CALLED OUT--DANCE PARTY TIME]
no subject
She's stuck in the middle of them, her first few movements stiff as she watches the others. But ah well, misery loves company and eventually, she begins to loosen up.
She is NOT singing though, but she might be humming the tune and laughing at herself as she goes, face still as red as a tomato.]
